Online Placement Instrument (OPI)

The Individual Student Report provides :

  • the percentile rank of the student when compared to the performance of other students at the same nominated year level using data from a national sample
  • the total number of questions answered correctly by the student
  • the percentage of questions answered correctly by strand
  • a breakdown of questions answered correctly by strand
  • a descriptor of every question and also an indication of whether the student has answered it correctly or incorrectly

The Where You're At Report indicates the difficulty of every question in the test completed by the student. It also shows whether the student answered each question correctly or incorrectly.

The Group Report can be downloaded as a pdf file and also in a format that can be opened as an excel file, allowing schools to manipulate the data.

The Group Report can be generated as a 'ready to print' document or as an excel file.

The 'ready to print' Group Report provides

  • a descriptor of every test question including the strand

and

  • the total number of correct responses to each question
  • the percentage correct to each question
  • the percentage correct to each question from a normed sample
  • the correct response to each question
  • each student's response to every question
  • each student's total raw score
  • each student's scaled OPI score
  • the percentile ranking of each student from a normed sample
  • group's mean score on test (This Group's Mean)
  • group mean on test from a normed sample (All School's Mean)

The excel format group report provides schools with an interactive file containing

  • each student's date of birth
  • each student's gender
  • each student's date of completion of the test
  • each student's response to every question
  • each student's total raw score
  • each student's scaled OPI score
  • the percentile ranking of each student from a normed sample
